I went to this place when I lived in the neighborhood. I was a regular for 5 years and cannot tell you how frustrated I am that, this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food is always hot, the drinks are always made with so much care & love, and the produce is fresh. It's very high-paced and I grew a fond of all the servers, the comfort table couches, and intimate seating. Would totally recommend this place for breakfast & lunch if you're near this area. Thank you Clara! read more

Pleasant place but mediocre coffee and absurdly slow service. 10 minutes to get a toasted bagel with butter?!

The youngest one there this afternoon has no manners; she is very rude when dealing with people.

Stopped by here in a weekday and was very pleased. Staff was super friendly and had good pastries/sandwiches as well as great coffee. Very large portion of cold brew for $5.50 which I thought was reasonably priced. Nice place to study or stop in to and helpful staff read more

Every single time i order a bagel from here they ALWAYS forgot to put something i asked for. I ordered a Bagel with bacon / tomato & onions & cream cheese . I look at my bagel & theres NO TOMATOES. its like they dont even look at what is written on the order WHEN MAKING THE FOOD read more

Cumaica - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is one of my favorite coworking/remote working spots near me for their numerous seats, long hours (for a cafe), solid Wi-Fi, cheap eats, and nice workers! I usually come by multiple times a month and stay for the whole day. I don't usually buy coffee here - I'm a bigger fan of their bagel sandwiches and salads. Workers have always been super friendly and talkative to me. I have also tried to practice my Spanish with them! Lots of seating with counters and a sofa! Always a pretty clean space. Tends to have more customers in the early morning and when school gets out. I personally think it's a great space in the Divisadero/Lower Pacific Heights area and will continue to support! read more

We went to Cumaica to get my coffee fix. I had a large house coffee and my husband had a hot mocha with almond milk. Both were excellent and my husband said his was the best mocha he has had. We also ordered a carrot bread and a banana nut chocolate bread. Both were very good and the chocolate added to the banana bread was exceptional. Service was quick and friendly. The walk in entrance is clean and inviting with a great selection of snacks and burritos in an open air case. There also is a menu board with a large assortment of prepared sandwich and bagel options to be made to order. I highly recommend it, You will not be disappointed. read more

Unexpected rainy day sanctuary. I was waiting for my car to be repaired and dropped in for a respite from the rain. I didn't expect much, but I'm still thinking of my delicious food on that rainy day. A onion bagel toasted with butter and a cup of coffee. Sounds simple and not easy to mess up right? Wrong... at other places but Cumaica nailed it! It was perfectly delicious and cheap. Now they may have messed up the order, or I was accidentally uncharged but it was on $5! Thank you. I need to go in there soon. read more

Nothing special about this coffee shop except how unfriendly the staff is. I walked in on a Monday morning. It wasn't busy the staff wasn't stressed taking orders. Went up to the counter and said "Good morning!" ...crickets... For the rest of my one sided interaction, not a word. No "Welcome", no "Good morning", no "Thank you", no "Have a good day" ....total silence while looking at me. Starbucks is just a block away. I'd suggest going there instead of being subjected to such an unfriendly experience. read more

Was visiting my sister in San Francisco from SoCal and we wanted to stop somewhere and get breakfast. My biggest worry was that an artisanal coffee shop in pacific heights would be too bougie and expensive BUT the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was very good and not at all overpriced. I got a black coffee and they do seem to use a darker roast which I personally prefer but some people find too strong so just be aware. We sat and talked for a few hours and it was very comfortable 10/10 experience, if I lived here I'd be a regular read more

A block from where we stayed on Sacramento Street. Great for breakfast every day we were there. A better cross-section of SF you won't find: from schoolkids to folks on the way to the office, to workers taking a break, to young families, to dogs. Great everything bagels, and the unique to SF jalapeno bagels. Good tasty espresso. And all the staff are really nice! And I've even learned to say Muchas Gracias! read more

Late Lunch via Cumaica , only an image of the food because my focus was on getting in and out given my car was questionably parked :) As for the shop it was very spacious, clean, well organized, and the women that helped me were very pleasant. My meal, a very filling & tasty Tuna Pasta Salad which would easily have been enough for 2 if partnered with a Salad or 1/2 Sandwich. No Salad for me though :) I still had some more work to do so I partnered it with a Yummy Pastry. To be honest I do have a bag of Salad in the Fridge, but there is probably a greater then 50% chance it will meet the same fate as the last 2 (green can). In any case it was a nice Lunch :) read more

The coffee and smoothie were OK, the cranberry scone was dry and rubbery. Worst of all, someone walked in on me in the bathroom with a key even though I had locked the door and when I asked the staff what happened, they were rude and unhelpful and said they "don't watch the bathrooms". Highly NOT recommended. read more

Love this spot. Sweet staff and fast service. The coffee isn't as good as across the street, but it's doable.

Lox bagel...just remember that. lox bagel. Had that while I waited for my b patisserie baked goods to be boxed. It's right across the street. I was told it was delicious. It was. Perfect blend of your everything bagel, cream cheese and delicious lox with capers and purple onion slices. I enjoyed it on our drive to Sacramento so I cannot complain. Someone else got a regular bagel with cream cheese and said it had the perfect amount of cream cheese to bagel and it was very nice and warm. We ordered a warm chocolate which was rich but not too rich. Nice and hot and was just perfect. We didn't get the whipped cream that we asked but it's ok hot chocolate goes with very cold weather. Sweet and salty kind of breakfast= perfection read more

The Huz and I were staying at Japantown for my work retreat. Cumaica is about a 20-minute walk from the hotel. We were looking for an early morning coffee spot, so walking here became our routine. I don't understand any of the bad reviews because it seems to be a local spot, totally clean, and with solid coffee and food. They have enough to satisfy meat eaters and vegans. The workers were really nice and service was super efficient. Loved the bagel sandwich selection! There's also lots of seating if you need to eat or do simple work. These days, supporting small businesses is important. If you're in the area, I'd definitely try this out. read more

Spent $30 bucks on pastries just to come home and realize they tasted like everything bagel seasoning. Taste and smell, could not eat them. Called the place to notify them and they said "On thank you". Talk about 0 fucks given. Nope nope. read more

**Actually a 3.5 but rounded up for great service. I think this is a nice cafe in the area! My dirty chai was a little too strong (I think from cinnamon?) which was a little weird but not bad. I would go back though to try other coffee options. I really did enjoy my bagel though! There's a limited number of bagel flavor options, but the ones that are there are very good. I got a veggie on Asiago which was flavorful and all the veggies tasted fresh. Also for my vegans, there's a decent vegan menu for breakfast options! read more

Great little neighborhood spot! I came in at 12ish on a Saturday and snagged their last 4 bagels! I got a smattering of onion, jalapeño cheddar, and wheat! The bagels pretty good, but the cream cheese was the star of the show. This definitely made a good hangover meal! read more

Literally my favorite place ever. I go here every morning because I teach at a school nearby. The staff is incredible, i feel welcomed, loved, and the ladies are such hard workers. The prices are a bit too much, for the food and drinks but the service makes up for it. Great location, a couple of restaurants down on divis if you want a drink or breakfast with a side. Great place and location! read more

Literally some of the best bagels I've had in the city. I always get an onion bagel with veggie or chive cream cheese. They have really good bagel sandwiches as well. The cafe is quite big so it's definitely cozy and easy to work in. Overall, a really nice neighborhood cafe! read more

Looking for caffeine to spark some joy and it went south. Worth a stop +'s: + If you want space then you got it. No one was sitting here on a weekend afternoon. Skip the stop -'s: - Coffee is deplorable. Super acidic and burnt. - Odd service. I returned both coffee orders minus the one sip that was taken from each order. The lady took it back with surprise and offered nothing. I said your coffee is undrinkable and I think you should know. She knows and offered nothing. Great location on corner of California and Divisadero but now I know why there's no line. The place has terrible coffee. Now I will have to go back to my original haunt, B. Patisserie for my coffee and hope that the line is not out the door again. read more

This place has the perfect combination of breakfast items I have been looking for. I usually have breakfast downtown but I thought I would venture out here today. I ordered a veggie Bagel which is a Bagel with cream cheese and assorted veggies. This is hard to find. I usually have to get a egg with some kind of meat. I also got a tea and a fruit salad. I have been to many places and they never have fruit salad ready in the morning. I love having fruit in the morning. There are plenty places to sit. A good variety of drinks and grab and go options. Only minus is that it's really loud in there so you might have to yell your order. read more

Please DO NOT place Too Good To Go app orders with this business. They are not reliable as they cancelled both my orders placed on different days including one that they cancelled upon my arrival during active pickup time window. The cashier said " they ran out of food". The pickup time was 3:30pm -4pm and they cancelled it at 3:36pm when I was already in the store. You cannot cancel on someone upon arrival and waste someone's time. Not a very good business practice and thats why you deserve zero star. read more

I wish this wasn't the only bagel place near me. They always get my order wrong meaning my usual order is a sausage egg and cheese and without fail when I check the bagel before I leave it never has cheese on it. Most of the time when I walk up to the counter I have to interrupt their conversations to ask if someone can take my order. Seems like a fun place to work though since they are having so much fun behind the counter. When the order is right the food is good. read more

Awesome cafe with good food and drink options! Opens at 6 too for any early-risers. I go quite often

I ordered a raspberry Italian soda, after I paid she then said there's no raspberry flavor . I told her strawberry would be fine and she made it quickly. Then when I received the drink, it had zero flavor tasted like just the club soda . When I approached her with this issue, she drank the syrup by itself and said it sweet . Like obviously the syrup is sweet alone ...I then told her to try it with the soda she refused . I asked to change the drink she said it was fine then tried to charge me another $7. When I told her I'm not going to pay for another drink when you didn't make the first one correctly, she said not my problem you need to like it . I told her who are you to tell me what I'm supposed to like ? She then got so frustrated and agreed to make me another drink so furiously after the back and fourth and slammed it on the counter and walked off . So I tasted that one, which no effort was put into, and threw it away . When I came back to ask for her name to tell the manager, she went hiding into a side room and refused to speak with me . Then started to get on the phone trying to play victim . I tried working with her but she was too immature so I got a photo .NOT COOL . There's a reason she only works the weekends .. read more

This is a cute little cafe that serves sandwiches and drinks. We came here on a Wednesday morning for a quick drink and bite to eat after B Patisserie across the street was closed. I got the chai latte ($3.95), which was quite a good iced drink. The chai flavor was strong, but I did think that it was a bit too sweet. Overall, a good place to sit for a while and enjoy a bite to eat. read more

Very average. Breakfast bagel was about the most average bagel I've ever had. Friendly staff and quick service!

Left a very expensive down vest in the sitting area. Immediately called and was treated very rudely on phone. "we don't have time to check". When I insisted, the woman running the coffee bar said they found it and would hold it. I returned a week later ( sick, could not travel to SF that same week) and was told they no longer had it. When I inquired how it might have gone from found to missing I was told I was very rude and that they didn't have it. I guess whomever works there and kept it needed it more than I did. Still, I won't be returning to such an establishment. read more

San Franciscans love supporting local businesses. Cumaica has three other outposts, but this one excels in its friendly customer service and for offering the Pac Heights crowd a decent breakfast option without the long waits at Wild Hare or B patisserie across the street. You can depend on healthy options for brekkie like a fruit cup or yogurt with granola. If your man prefers a more filling option, then a traditional bagel with cream cheese. For lunch, some salads to go and tasty tuna sandwiches fit the bill. I like the iced decaf americano and he loves the freshly squeezed OJ. And when winter time comes, the Mexican hot chocolate soothes your soul. If you're not in the mood for long waits at brunch or the rowdy football Sunday crowd, head over to Cumaica for a coffee and bagel and enjoy your breakfast in peace. read more
